We enjoyed our stay. Great views, especially sunsets. Property is a bit dated, which is fine just letting people know. It was overall pretty clean. Expected a little bit better quality and included amenities (hand soap was watered down, no dishwasher soap, etc). Also if you have allergies you may not want to stay here, it smelled like dogs when we entered and my brother-in-law (who isn't allergic to dogs but has allergies) struggled with this allergies so not sure what triggered them. It was also the most involved set of check out instructions I've seen, it asked us to vacuum, wash+put away dishes and we paid a cleaning fee!

The title sums it up. Pros: 1. Amazing lake view as house is on peninsula 2. Good house layout (very comfortable for large family) 3. Great private dock Cons: 1. Owner intruded upon our privacy, causing a generally awkward and uncomfortable feeling with my family. We were two families staying together (4 adults, 2 teens and 3 children). The children were genuinely freaked out by Brenda, the owner, who was in the house nearly every day. First, it was a problem with tv remote -- we said ok (but this required multiple entries into the house.) Then it was a broken shade. She let herself in nearly everyday when we were not home. My husband actually told her we did not want her coming into the house while we were staying there. We use vacation rentals yearly all over the world and have never had an owner intrude on our privacy like this. For this reason alone, I would not return to this house. 2. House is very dated. It appeared the kitchen appliances were original to the house (probably atleast 50 years old). There were no updates to this house. I really feel badly putting in this review, but I have never had such an experience where an owner made everyone feel very uncomfortable with their constant appearance at the house.

The house was easy to find and had good access to amenities etc. It has views from every room and dock and cove are great for swimming and kayaking. The boat ramp provided a way for my handicapped mother to access the water and the dogs loved it too. The house was very comfortable if a bit older. There were a few wonky lights but the only reason I took a star off is that while it worked fine the oven heating element was not very secure and the knob only had the word bake on it. One time it got left on (not for long) as someone turned it off the wrong way and put it on an unmarked setting. Without off being marked I thought it maybe a bit dangerous. I am sure this is an easy fix. We had a lovely stay and it was perfect for out family and we would happily stay again.

We were looking for a smaller house that had a dock for our boat. The bonus was the private ramp. It’s a little tight but our boat is 26 feet and we managed. The communication with the owner was outstanding. If you needed anything you just send them a text. Answered right away. We forgot our boil pot and they brought one over to use. The house is secluded towards the end of point. We definitely recommend this place.

Working with Brenda is easy, Great lake location. Thanks for a great vacation again.

We had a blast. I love the location of this lake house. You can see the lake from every room in the house. It seems like we were either gathering in the kitchen or outside. The kitchen has an island that is great for meal prep. There is a huge picnic table outside by the lake that we enjoyed using. This isn’t a fancy upscale house but an inviting, laidback, comfortable house. The pier can get hot so be sure to bring flip flops.

Very convenient lake access.

We arrived to find this lovely lake house nice a cozy with the lights on for us. The views of the lake and sunsets were absolutely beautiful. The house was very convenient to area grocery stores and restaurants. The kitchen/dining area was great for us to cook meals together and dine in over the holiday. Brenda, our host, was just awesome to work with and very accommodating! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Step-Aside and hope to return again one day.

I feel this property is overpriced for what it is, (Modular Home)and if you’re not boating during your stay.I do understand the location and value of the properties near the Point...we had a great time because of having family together.Brenda was super friendly and allowed us to check-in early, as well as stopping by to verify all was well.

This house is a spacious ranch home in a beautiful location in an area of million-dollar mansions. Other reviews spoke of the mismatched furniture, and that is true. It does seem like the owner sends her cast-offs to the rental property, so there is an over-abundance of seating. One issue that we had was that there was no empty dresser in the master bedroom for unpacking, but the owner said she may change that. Also, the master bath is badly in need of renovation. However, it is functional for a week's stay. The location on the lake is perfect if you have a boat, with a launch right on the property. The shore is all rock, so it probably wouldn't be great for small kids. The lake is beautiful and the guys had good luck with fishing. Lots of bass. Their most fun catch was a 10-lb. alligator gar fish! The owner Brenda lives close by and is very responsive to any needs. We had an issue with the water pump (it has a well), but she was on top of it immediately and she even offered to send us to a hotel during the inconvenience, which we thought was unnecessary. All in all, a nice relaxing getaway.

Property was well located. It’s very spacious. We were traveling with a toddler so it was great that it’s all one level

Brenda was easy to work with excellent communicator who was very interested in our enjoying the week! Great location million dollar view an especially private. We utilized the dock and the fire pit all week long. Thanks for your hospitality!

Spacious house, nice level yard. Really enjoyed the deep water at the end of the dock. We had a total of eight people plenty of lounging and dining room. Called the owner looking for an extra large pot to do a seafood boil and she was happy to accommodate us. Thank you Brenda for a great vacation. Great friendly neighbors. Super quiet street.

The house location is perfect; house was very clean; house is not updated - the pictures are accurate - but everything was clean which is really what matters. The dock is wonderful. You might want to bring your own outside furniture if you want to sit in the yard - the deck furniture was very nice but if you want to sit in the yard near the lake, you will need something.

The property is in a nice location however, we were disappointed with the house which was not 100% accurately portrayed in the pictures. Our general impression was it was tired, and the furnishings were mismatched and cobbled together. Our bed had mismatched linens and the blankets were too small for the bed. There was only one pillow per person. There was a general shabbiness to the furniture and fixtures. Both bathtubs need resurfacing badly. Lightbulbs were missing from many fixtures and mismatched. Blinds in living room were broken and missing slats. Shower curtain was moldy. No dishwasher soap provided. Basic soap that was provided was from a previously used bottle. Dishes in kitchen mismatched. Lazy Susan in kitchen was broken. Armchair in living room was broken. Dog poop was all over the yard. It felt like everything was secondhand - from the linens and towels to the furniture and dishes. Our family of 5 all felt it could have be cleaner and updated. Very basic accomodations.

The views can't be beat. Nice quiet streets but less ten minutes from every thing. Owner and property are top notch. Used it for extended stay while but our house and I can say for all the vrbo my wife and I have used across the country this is by far best run place.

Stayed at this location couple times and it is by far best value on lake. House is very roomy and awesome water view from both front and back. If your looking for rest not along of traffic or noise at this location. Deep water dock wonderful for going and jumping in taking a swim. The home owner is very responsive and caters to needs of her guest. Just a very wonderful place to stay and relaxe.

Wonderful quiet neighborhood. The views of the lake are beautiful from this property! Loved that the house had enough bedroom space for all our family.

We had a great experience at the Stepaside residence. Comfortable house, Brenda is a great hostess, and the house/property has beautiful views and access to the lake. It has all the amenities you need for an awesome family vacation and the kids loved jumping off the dock. Will definitely come again

This vacation home has lovely, open water views both front and back, and the location is tranquil yet close to shopping, restaurants and marina. Brenda is very responsive to questions and helpful. We really enjoyed the porch, fire pit, dock and boat ramp. (Our Labrador wanted to swim constantly!) Great area for long walks, too. Thank you, Brenda!

Place was exactly like description. Very quiet area with wonderful view of lake both front and back. Place very well kept and the dock was awesome if you want to jump in for a swim.

Brenda's property is located in a very quiet neighborhood with a great view of the lake. It is in deep water -- great for fishing and swimming. The house was perfect for the size of our party -- very spacious with large kitchen, eat in area and living room. We thoroughly enjoyed our time relaxing, swimming and sitting on the deck. Our dog loved jumping off the dock and swimming! Towels and bedding were included, which was a nice plus. Thanks for your hospitality, Brenda!

This property is on a peninsula with just a few other houses. Very peaceful, right on the water, just beautiful scenery. Home had more room than we anticipated from the listing, so plenty of space for several people. Our dogs loved it as there was a boat ramp where they could enter and exit the lake easily.

Beautiful lake views among a rustic clean and comfortable setting...Brenda was very attentive and easy to accommodate us....very enjoyable stay...definately would return.

This was our second visit here. We came for a long weekend and had a great time. The dock is great. The views are beautiful and the sunsets from this property are amazing! We hope to be back again soon!
